# BarcodeTypes

A comma-separated list of the types of barcodes that might appear in the ingested media. The following types are available:

Codabar Code-128 Code-39 Code-93 Datalogic 2/5 Data Matrix EAN-13 EAN-2 EAN-5 EAN-8 | I25 IATA 2/5 Industrial 2/5 Matrix 2/5 Patch Code PDF417 QR UPC-A UPC-E

NOTE: EAN-2 and EAN-5 supplement other barcodes (EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-E, and UPC-A). Media Server does not read EAN-2 and EAN-5 barcodes unless they appear alongside one of these types. For example, to read EAN-13 barcodes that have an EAN-2 supplement, set `BarcodeTypes=EAN-13,EAN-2`.

NOTE: Some types of barcode are a subset of other types.

- UPC-A is a subset of EAN-13. If you configure Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, Media Server returns all EAN-13 barcodes including UPC-A.
- ISBN barcodes are a subset of EAN-13 that begin with 978 or 979, so you can detect ISBN barcodes by configuring Media Server to detect EAN-13 barcodes, but Media Server will also return EAN-13 barcodes than are not in the ISBN range.
- GS1-128 barcodes (sometimes known as UCC/EAN-128) are a subset of Code-128 barcodes, so you can detect these using the Code-128 type.

Alternatively, you can set one of the following values to process multiple barcode types:

`All` | All supported types.
`All1D` | All one-dimensional types.
`All2D` | All two-dimensional types.

Type: | String (comma-separated list)
Default: | All
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | `BarcodeTypes=QR`
